about

The term mandatum (Maundy) was applied to the rite of foot-washing on this day of the Christian Holy Week called Maundy Thursday. John 13:1–17 recounts Jesus' performance of this act. The Pope, traditionally will wash the feet of prisoners (sinners). That's where we come in.

Well, me and my friend Andre (Mr. Jackson) would go out and smoke in the parking lot at work and talk shit, listen to gospel/r&b music etc.. and when we found out rounds of layoffs were coming, it rattled us thoroughly. The 'dirty feet' reference is us stating that we are both huge sinners from wayyyyy back, in need of salvation from the constant fear of impending layoffs.

It 100% sucks to be an adult, only having kids make it all worthwhile.

lyrics

Well the word came on down from way up top
as I read the mail with mr. jackson
it'd be four months to the day before they'd stop
but we're both too old for any kind of action
we got nothin but the fear of God
and two pairs of dirty feet

went to have a smoke out in the parking lot
Lord we're just too tired to play this game
the last thing anybody needs before the holidays
come January things won't be the same
we got nothin but the fear of God
and two pairs of dirty feet

it was decided that we'd hang on tight for dear life
and do the best we can with what we got
but just in case it was best I told my wife
buddy she was cool cuz man she love me a lot
got nothing but the fear of God to guide us
nothing but the fear of God in me
we got nothin but the fear of God
and two pairs of dirty feet
